Assuming all the low-key, suburban churches haven't gone all Dobbs-ey, I'd hope someone's seen Saw at a lock-in or two. Just pray before the pizza and watch Prince of Egypt or something afterwards.
Cartoons are a given, so it's pointless to list them. Any original cut movies from the 80s with George Lucas or Steven Spielberg connected to them. The original Karate Kid Ghostbusters Lord of the Rings trilogy
My Bodyguard School of Rock Spirited Away Toy Story 1-3 A Christmas Story The Princess Bride The first Star Wars trilogy The Last Starfighter Goonies and of course, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
Take them back to the history of film, maybe. Some Chaplin movies Gone With the Wind Cassablanca and end it with total kickassery, Ben Hur. Or Sound of Music. My personal favorite musical as a child.
Wow!! Nearly 3 pages and no love for the Bad News Bears!!! It's one of my favorites and also my favorite baseball movie of all time!!! One of my favorite "**** you" ever captured on film starts around the 9 minute mark. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/ntisjBTiX6I" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
The Ten Commandments King of Kings Ben-Hur The Greatest Story Ever Told Fireproof The Mission The Passion of the Christ Amazing Grace Chronicles of Narnia Shadowlands Sincerely, Lurch
Indiana Jones (esp. Raiders) Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (the original) E.T Chitty Chitty Bang Bang
The Back to the Future Trilogy Ghostbusters The Indiana Jones Trilogy (not the 4th one) The Star Wars Trilogy (I guess they can watch the "new" ones, but these have to be first) Project X Ferris Bueller's Day Off ET Really I'm just naming my favorite movies as a kid now...
As a kid growing up in the 80s, I pretty much watched almost everything. You name it. The tv movie Salem's Lot(that window scene still haunt me to this day) Friday The 13, The Exorcist, Halloween, The Thing, Porky, Caligula, Jaws, The Fog and ect. So many good movies affected me in a very good way and I'm so glad that I had to chance to see them. It's sad now that trying to limit kids to just cartoon nowaday.
There are some issues for kids born into the Xbox/Playstation age, but a good story is a good story. The first time we watched "A Hard Days Night" my son had a hard time getting past it being in B&W. Once he got past the lack of color he loved it. We watched the original "Frankenstein" (1932) last night and he enjoyed it.
